The way to drown out gossip is to douse it with the truth. Since no cause of death was made public, knowing how distrustful people are of authority nowadays the resulting information void left a breeding ground for rumors and innuendos. It's why public relations jobs exist.

Snow on the ground is not a problem, but ice on the streets and roads is. Why don't you ask your employer why she canceled classes at both the Athens and the Demorest campuses today Feb 16 and report back to us?

Seahawks WR Chris Matthews once worked at Foot Locker and as a security guard before he got the call. Superbowl MVP QB Kurt Warner once stocked groceries on the nightshift at Hy-Vee and worked as a graduate assistant coach before he got the call.

Anthem says it has no reason to believe credit card or banking information was compromised, nor is there evidence at this time that medical information, such as claims, test results, or diagnostic codes, was targeted or obtained.

These are relatively minor issues compared with the theft of personally identifiable information, such as your social security number, which can be used years later to steal your identity. I noticed the article made no mention of ssn's at all. Free credit monitoring for a limited time is a pretty lame response to this kind of data theft. I will certainly join any class action lawsuits.

[quote][b]TeeWee[/b] - WOW! Now that is news. The Feds can set priorities but the President cannot change the law passed by Congress in a bipartisan manner.[/quote]

Executive orders offer a powerful and immediate way for a president to advance his policy priorities. A White House aide to President Bill Clinton described the lure of executive orders this way: "Stroke of the pen, law of the land". President Ronald Reagan used the direct power of executive orders to peel back layers of government regulation that he and his administration believed were hampering economic growth. President George W. Bush signed executive orders that approved more aggressive surveillance after 9/11 and limited public access to presidential documents. And President Obama has increasingly relied on executive orders to forward his agenda in the face of an intransigent Congress.

Mississippi - enough said. Look, if someone wants to risk their own life and limbs doing something stupid, I would normally say "Have at it.", but it's discretionary acts of stupidity like this one that drive up the cost of health care for everyone.

We gave it our best effort under limited intelligence data and highly risky circumstances, but sometimes it just doesn't work out like we want it to. At least we didn't lose any operators on the mission.

The reality is some of these scammers sound pretty convincing over the phone. Otherwise, they wouldn't keep doing it. We tell our senior citizen relatives to let all calls roll over to their answering machine unless they recognize our voices. We review the messages for them and respond to the valid ones. Scammers seldom leave a message, an exception being that guy who claims he's just trying to get delivery information for a medical alert device that's already been paid for by a relative or friend. He's actually trying to get your to subscribe to their service.

[quote][b]TeeWee[/b] - This quota and numbers game is so tedious. Let's stop the race game.[/quote]
There is no race based quota system in effect at UGA.

...the courts ruled in the 1990s that UGA could no long give an admissions preference on the basis of race

Ironic Target would be a victim, since they just paid a $4 million fine [without admitting guilt] for overcharging customers at the register versus the price on the shelf. Discrepancies were also found between the weight printed on some packages versus the actual content weight.

After the Great Recession hit, I recall seeing a piece on the Atlanta 6 o'clock news about how Capital City had avoided making subprime loans and as a result was in great financial condition. It's closure comes as a great surprise to me. What exactly happened?

Summary:
I'm not saying it's lonely to be a movie critic, but we often find ourselves seated alone in an empty theatre when we're watching new stuff. I know people who say they won't go see anything unless they have at least one other person to go with, but I've always enjoyed having the place to myself.

As you might imagine, the vast majority of the editorial cartoons available these days for publication through the syndicate which supplies cartoons to the Athens Banner-Herald/OnlineAthens are addressing the situation in Ferguson, Mo., where the fatal shooting of a black teen by a white police officer has touched off a number of demonstrations -- some peaceful, but many not at all peaceful, with tear gas fired by police officers and gunshots fired by some protester.
